Singer Sean Kingston, who was ordered to pay a Florida jeweller $44,000 in December, is begging for mercy and is asking a judge to drop a warrant for his arrest and let him try again in a jewelry case instead of sending him to jail.
According to TMZ.com, Sean didn’t know about the order, because he thought the papers he got were for another case, and he ignored them. In a new legal document filed by him, Sean says he’s regretful and ready to take responsibility, but wants a new trial so he can tell his side of events. He’s also asking the judge to pardon him because he’s repping himself “due to financial efficiency” and has had health issues after allegedly being assaulted and robbed recently. The singer claims he’s returned some of the merchandise in question to Haimov Jewelers and tried to set up a payment plan, but they wouldn’t accept it.
